"You're the best"

Almost there...

The two of you should take a shot at being hovercraft pilots for the day with this unique one to one experience. You’ve seen these craft on the TV and always thought they looked pretty cool, right? Well now is the time for you both to learn how to handle one.

Learn to fly on land with an experienced instructor where you’ll both be able to master the basics of hovercraft flight before you take on the 30 acre lake where you will skate effortlessly above the water and reach speeds of up to 40 miles per hour. This is a fast moving experience but you’ll receive 30 minutes at the helm to find out what it takes to really get this machine going. With high speed modern equipment, expert tuition and training, this is a moment neither of you will never forget.

What's Included?

What happens on the day?

You will need to arrive 15 minutes prior to your start time, so you can get kitted out and hear a quick briefing from your instructors.

First of all you will each learn how to operate the hovercraft whilst on land with an instructor giving you tuition throughout. Once you have mastered this you should be ready to move on to the water where you may reach speeds of up to 40 miles per hour - sometimes flying sideways! You may want to clean up after your wild ride so feel free to use the shower rooms then take some time out in the bar area after your wicked experience.

Been there, done that...

"Thank you, Lee!"

An experience to remember as we got to do land and water activities. Super easy to use and such a fun way to get about. Lee was extremely helpful with instruction and kept it all running smoothly and on time. Will do it again
